These MPs just voted against protecting food and farming standards after Brexit

A vote is read out in the House of Commons. - Credit: PA

MPs voted 332 to 279 to overturn a House of Lords amendment to the Agriculture Bill which would have required agricultural and food imports to meet domestic standards.

The Lords had made the change to block the import of foodstuffs produced abroad with lower animal welfare standards, amid warnings over chlorinated chicken or hormone-treated beef entering the UK market from the US.

The Conservative manifesto promised: “We will not compromise on our high environmental protection, animal welfare and food standards”.
